Boiled eggs or overnight oats are what I eat all week long. Throw in a yogurt and piece of fruit and you're golden!!!

I use a HRM and generally burn 800-1000/day...mostly circuits, crossfit, etc.

If you're using the kettlebell properly with good form and a variety of movements they're probably one of the best/most diverse pieces of equipment you can use. I have them in my home gym and love them!

The kettlebell is probably the best, most versitile piece of training equiment you could buy. I try and use them as often as possible!

Totally agree with the training plan. As for time, that depends on you. For my first 1/2 my goal was simply to finish, my time was 2:06. For my second I knew what I could do and trained much harder, finished in 1:46.

I'd get call it a day and get a good nights sleep, try again tomorrow. Everyone has bad days...don't sweat it!

If you go on their website, they actually sell a suede version in brown for wear around the city

I live in North Eastern Ontario (Canada) and the winter weather here usually sits at about -20 celsius or so. I swear by my Under Armour Cold Gear. I wear a pair of compression underwear and then their Cold Gear compression pants and long sleeve top as a base layer under whatever I'm training in. I wear a Cold Gear beanie…

I absolutely love mine! I have 3 pairs and will be taking them to Afghanistan with me. I recommend them to everyone I talk to...

I'm up and at the gym by 6:45 every morning...I start everyday with a small piece of fruit (bananas are my go-to) or some fruit juice. Water is a must too...

If you're able to, and have a pullup bar, do hanging leg raises...eventually moving to a toes-to-bar. Awesome core combined with grip strength...

LOVE IT!!!

I have a Garmin 305 and my wife has the 405. Like some have said, the 305 is easier to use but a bit more bulky...the 405 has more features and is a little more sleek.

I haven't replaced anything with protein powders or any other supplements and have lost a total of 90lbs over the past several years. I try and make 1/2 of all my meals vegetables and fruit, focus on lean meats (fish, chicken, eggs, etc) and eat a moderate amount of grains (always whole grains or at least whole wheat when…

I made this last weekend and it was awesome: Ingredients 1 (3 pound) bone-in pork shoulder roast 2 teaspoons minced garlic kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste 2 pomegranates with the seeds removed 1/2 cup water 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon Directions…

We plan dinners only, then buy what we need based on the menu and what's in season...it saves us a ton of money and keeps us on track. For breakfast we tend to keep to the same foods for ease of schedule and lunches are leftovers or salads...

I've heard that it boosts metabolism and curbs hunger. I drink it fairly regularly and find I don't feel like snacking as much...whether it's the extra water or the green tea, I have no idea...

I love my NB Minimus...I use them more for running than my Five Fingers...but I love them both

Interval training for sure...If you haven't already look up Tabata workouts, they're wicked!

Without a doubt my favourite is the Army Run held in Ottawa every September. Before the regular start they have a separate start for injured runners/soldiers...it's an absolutely AMAZING event!!!

1 can diced tomatos 1 can tomato soup (I know it sounds weird) Whichever fresh herbs you like in your sauce (basil, thyme, oregano, etc) Fresh cracked pepper and Kosher salt 1 tablespoon or so of brown sugar Simmer everything together and you're GTG...it's pretty low cal, easy to make and you know exactly what you've put…

In my area I buy either the Liberte or Danone...each has about 17g protein in a 3/4 cup serving. As for the taste, adding fresh berries will sweeten it up nicely, or if you want to treat yourself add about 1/2 Tbsn of pure maple syrup (not the artificial stuff) and a dash of pure vanilla extract...

I wish I'd known that the only way to get good at running wasn't necessarily just running. Interval training and circuit training have been instrumental for me. I shaved 20mins off my 1/2 marathon time in a year and only ran twice a week (1 short run of 5-8 km and one longer run)

I'm currently training for a deployment to Afghanistan for most of 2012. My goals for this year would be: 1. Make it home to my family healthy so that I can meet my beautiful baby girl (my wife is due while I'm away) 2. Run a 20:00 min 5k (currently at about 23:00 3. Complete my PB pull-ups with full gear on (current PB is…

I'm up at 5:30 grab a bit of fruit, get the kids ready and off to daycare by 6:30 and am at the gym by 7:00 for 60-90 min workout. If you're looking for something quick you could look at a small circuit of burpees, lunges, squats, push-ups, etc. Perhaps go out and get a skipping rope to incorporate into the circuit if you…

I have the New Balance Minimus and Vibram Five Fingers that I do all my circuits in, I love them. I don't run long distances in the though, 5-8km max and that's with the Minimus...

For just 1 mile I'm about 6mins...ran my last 1/2 marathon in 1:45

I absolutely agree...unless you're competitively body building you have no need for supplements. There's nothing your body needs that you can't get from food. Combining some carbs with lean proteins after a workout is all your muscles need.

I always find it helpful to get on a stationary bike or rower after a workout that leaves me hurting like that, it helps to flush out any remaining lactic acid in the muscles. You usually want to leave at least a day in between working out the same muscle groups. If you haven't worked out much recently be careful how…
